Made Manifest

1 John 1:1-3 (ESV Strong's)

The Word of Life

1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the word of life— 2 the life was made manifest, and we have seen it, and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was made manifest to us— 3 that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.

God is without beginning or end. He is from everlasting to everlasting. Mankind has a beginning as do all things in creation. Mankind also has an end, which is to be made in the image of God and join Him in everlasting fellowship. 

God would first enter creation as a man wrapped in our mortal flesh. He brought His life to us in two steps. He sacrificed that mortal life for us. To be made in the image of Christ, we must give our mortal life for His. If we do this, we are made manifest in the kingdom of heaven. By following Him, we will be like Him. 

Thus we receive the eternal life of the Spirit of God. He is made manifest with us and within us. We can testify that we have seen the Lord with the eyes of the heart and feel the touch of His hand upon our lives. We can proclaim the Word of God to you in the joy of our salvation and new life.
